A recent LinkedIn post included a screenshot of a Google calendar invitation for a “Very Important Meeting ” at Shopify. Under the attendee list was the estimated cost of the meeting, $2,115. The estimate was based on the pay rate of an hour of each person’s time. One challenge of our confirmation bias is that we look at what we want to be true, even if it is false.

Selling may be your job. You might have fallen into a sales role because you needed work, or perhaps the allure of making more money attracted you to sales. Others were pushed into a sales role by a manager or a leader. Few salespeople chose the role because they wanted to pursue the craft. There are many people who have the skills and mindset to sell , but they avoid it because of the mostly outdated stereotype of the pushy, self-oriented salesperson.
Technology Sales Today brings together the best content for technology sales professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Based on the non-stop rain and humidity we have had for the last 6 weeks in Massachusetts, you could probably make a case that not only do we now have a rainy season, but where our house is located, we must live in a rain forest. Hold that thought. Dinger, our GoldenDoodle, who I have featured in several articles , tore his ACL last week. The X-Ray clearly showed that the tissue which is supposed to connect the tibia and the femur was torn.

When an employee leaves a company, there’s always a period of transition within the company and on their team. During this period, a formal legal separation process is usually handled by the HR department.

More. More. More! More emails. More cold calls. More opportunities. More pipeline. I don’t suggest that activity isn’t important, nor would I argue with you that too many salespeople do too little with their time and energy, but there is a difference between activity and effective activity.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency.

Over the course of my career I’ve looked at thousands of pipelines/funnels. Most are pretty bleak, they don’t have enough opportunities to achieve their goals. Recently, I was in a meeting discussing the pipeline health. The managers, defensively, responded, “Dave, we know we need to get more in our pipelines. We are driving prospecting activities to load the pipeline… Everyone knows they have to get to 3X pipelines within the next 60 days… ” I replied, “

At the first sign of trouble, the salesperson who disappears has damaged their relationship and put future business at risk. It doesn’t seem to matter how or why the client is struggling to produce the results they were sold and promised. Much of the time, the client’s problem is not the result of the salesperson’s actions or the lack of action. Most of the time, it’s a problem of the teams that deliver the solution.

This article will provide an overview of why setting specific goals is essential and how it helps push you forward and direct your SEO efforts.
